Researchers typically use rank ordered logit regression to analyze consumer preference data collected with Best-Worst Scaling (BWS) surveys. We propose a generalized rank ordered logit (GROL) model that accommodates scale and preference heterogeneity. Both the GROL and mixed rank ordered logit...

This paper discusses a practical estimation issue for time-varying transition probability (TVTP) Markov switching models. Time-varying transition probabilities allow researchers to capture important economic behavior that may be missed using constant (or fixed) transition probabilities. Despite...
